Riteweld Engineering - Design Manager
Riteweld Engineering is a structural steel and architectural metalwork fabricator based in Banbury, and we're creating a brand-new role to strengthen how we manage the design stage of every project we win.
As our new Design Manager, you'll be the link between our clients, their architects and structural engineers, and our in-house Drawing Office — making sure every job arrives ready to be detailed, without gaps, ambiguity or last-minute surprises.
This is a genuinely new role, created as Riteweld continues to grow. You'll have real scope to shape how it works from day one, working closely with our Operations and Drawing Office teams — a great opportunity for someone who wants genuine ownership of a role, not one that's already fully defined.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
